Bigg Boss Tamil finale was a grand affair as it saw the presence of all the contestants (except Namitha) and host Kamal Haasan. Aarav, who has been on the show since the first day and has also been notorious for his “maruthuva mutham” (a kiss to heal), emerged victorious and has left the audience stunned.

It was expected that Ganesh Venkatraman would be the winner as per the many online polls, which had earlier predicted eliminations with ease. Aarav won the trophy and a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh. The total number of votes registered by the poll was almost 77 crore.

Here are some of the reactions of audiences on Twitter

Its a shame to the people of TN and their judgmental skills if #Aarav becomes the #BiggBossTamil title winner.

The runner-up of the show was Snehan and Harish took the third place. Ganesh, who was among the first to be eliminated, did not show any sign of disappointment and accepted the results gracefully. Netizens, however, are ranting online about the results and how they would never accept Aarav as winner mostly because of his attitude towards Oviya which was deemed ungentlemanly by viewers.

The show that began on June 30 with Shree, Vaiyapuri, Snehan, Shakthi, Raiza, Oviya, Julie aka Juliana, Gayathri Raghuram, Ganja Karuppu, Ganesh Venkatraman, Bharani, Anuya, Harathi Ganesh, Aarav and Namitha also had wildcard entries Kajal, Harish, Suja Varunee and Bindu Madhavi. Bindu Madhavi was a part of the show almost till the end of last week. However, she had to leave after mid-week elimination.

Oviya seemed to be the one big reason for the audience to have tuned in, and as expected, she did come face to face with Aarav. However, she did not speak much to him except to say that he had lost weight. From the beginning of the show, till the curtains dropped, the contestants and the host were mired in many controversies. However, audience seemed to love the show. After Ganesh being eliminated, however, it looks like they might not wait eagerly for the next season.
